Money is not in short supply,

it cannot be,

when we can find the cash, the dough,

the pennies and the large plastic five pound

notes, ones not covered in the greed of

addiction to white washed powder,

to do up Parliament, to give a makeover

to Buckingham Palace, to give MPs a raise,

the necessary leg up to get them out of poverty…

for the one offering truth, the many

folding their arms and sniffing at the delights of the trough;

whilst children go hungry, whilst children are taken into care,
